Stuart of Balgonie was kind enough to share some of his Winter 2010 pictures. I am going to try to get them to work. Fingers x.

Blushing,

Yes, my daughter Katy and I will be attending. Mama bought us some dresses. We were hoping Mama could join us but she is still too afraid to fly in the present climate of things.

I've been checking out the 'Photo Gallery",
I think I have arrived at suitable period dress (providing the weather is fine)

Pictures, 5, 8 and 20 from Renaissance Fair North Carolina.

I'm sure you'all "Southern Belles" will excell. :blush::cool:

Re: Invitation to Balgonie Castle Fund Raiser

I have our train tickets bought, reservations made and dresses on order and in the mail. Katy and I are bringing the digital camera and laptop so we can upload the pictures each evening because I am staying 4 nights up there! Poor Glenrothes, just won't be the same!

Thanks Allie!

The hotel has internet so I plan on getting this to ES as soon as possible. I am even going to try a video. You may have to help me on it. I had an idea to try and get donations for Tay Bridge Memorial by doing some prints and offering them to those who cannot come to the event or cannot afford to come. What is your opinion?

Re: Invitation to Balgonie Castle Fund Raiser

Always worth a try Kelly. They do say nothing ventured nothing gained <grin>

Re: Invitation to Balgonie Castle Fund Raiser

Time is growing near and I am getting nervous.

I have been doing all the graphics for Gael Fire but the printing is so expensive, I have had to decline a job they asked me to do. I looked at discount ink cartridge companies and my Canon is still one of the most expensive on the list. I have done their menu, thank you graphics for donations, victims leaflets and place setting cards.

At least we were able to get a caterer in who did gave a good discount.

Fund Raisers sure cost a lot of money! There is only 21 tickets sold thus far. I hope more are sold before the 25th of March! It will be a grand night in the Kingdom of Fife!

Hey Kelly,
You have done a lot of volunteer work for this fundraiser. I am sure they understand if you have to turn down a job or two. I know they appreciate all that you have already done. I bet you are getting excited, not nervous!! Have you tried your gown on yet? How do you look? I can only imagine. I hope more tickets have sold by March 25th. Good luck!!
